My cat sits in strange places when she&#39;s not feeling well. Birds and squirrels that are about to die will often sit in public spaces seemingly unperturbed by humans because they&#39;re not actually fully conscious.

Dunno if you saw, Reddit thinks the rug cleaning one was faked: https://www.reddit.com/r/specializedtools/comments/7v839e/steam_cleaning_a_rug/ The wheels don&#39;t quiiiiite line up with the cleaned line, and you can see the pre-cleaned area through the joints of vacuum early on.<br /><br />Of course, finding that lead me down a rabbit hole of how high-quality rugs actually get cleaned.
